1	2 1st (2) (4/1 +0%) Investment Manager		4 4/1(+0%)																															(2) Investment Manager 4/1, Opened chase account at Exeter (19.2f, heavy) in April and added to that when seeing off 7 rivals over 25.8f here (good) last time. Drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue but now 5 b higher and, moreover, he's by no means certain to be in the same form, given his up-and-down profile. Inconsistent but every chance on his course win over longer trip latest; up 5lb.
2	1 2nd (1) (2.5/1 +9%) Bagheera Ginge		2.5 2.5/1(+9%)																															(1) Bagheera Ginge 2.5/1, Steadily progressive over hurdles last term, scoring at Stratford and Newton Abbot. Failed to complete first 2 starts in this sphere but much better the last twice and should go close if responding well to the first-time cheekpieces. Leading claims on effort two starts ago; first-time cheekpieces may prove a plus.
3	4 3rd (4) (4/1 +20%) Glajou		4 4/1(+20%)																															(4) Glajou 4/1, Landed a Warwick handicap chase off 4 lb higher last August and has returned to form the last twice, finding just one too good at Southwell and again when 3¾ lengths second to Dan's Chosen over this C&D. 4 lb better off with that rival now and should make his presence felt. Chances on his second to Dan's Chosen over C&D but just 2-27 in career.
4	5 4th (5) (3.33/1 +17%) Dan's Chosen		3.33 3.33/1(+17%)																															(5) Dan's Chosen 3.33/1, Returned to form from out of the blue with cheekpieces refitted when proving too strong for Glajou and 6 others in a C&D handicap at the end of last month. 5 lb higher mark demands more of him but, if in the same form, he should nevertheless have a part to play. Bounced back to form when beating Glajou over C&D last month; up 5lb.
5th	3 5th (3) (4.5/1 -50%) Romanor		4.5 4.5/1(-50%)																															(3) Romanor 4.5/1, Bagged a trio of handicap chases at around 2m here last year. Placed on 4 of his 5 starts since returning from a break in May and now 3 lb below last winning mark, so he has to enter calculations. Consistent this summer but finding it hard to add to six chasing wins.

LTO Selection:

16:00 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Romanor ran well in a higher class at Stratford last month and as he races off 2lb lower here, he looks to have a chance of landing his seventh success over fences. However, he has to give 6lb to DAN'S CHOSEN, who strolled home over C&D last month off 5lb lower in the handicap and if he can repeat that form here, then he appears be the one to beat. Fellow course double seeker Investment Manager is another to take seriously and he might try to make all dropping back in trip, though some of these could prove too speedy for him.

Cases can be made for each member of the quintet, with BAGHEERA GINGE shading preference. The form of his effort at Worcester is strong and he shaped like the clear second best at the weights when third at the same course last time. The combination of the drop back in trip and better ground will help, while the addition of cheekpieces may help eke out a little more. Romanor is second choice ahead of Dan's Chosen, who got the better of Glajou over C&D last time, and Investment Manager.

Topweight BAGHERRA GINGE (nap) may well benefit from the application of cheekpieces.

1	4 1st (4) (2.5/1 +9%) Clearance		2.5 2.5/1(+9%)																															(4) Clearance 2.5/1, Bagged third victory over this C&D when taking 7-runner handicap (good, 5/1) 22 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and is a big player. Three C&D wins and likely to be firmly on the premises again after 3lb rise for latest win.
2	5 2nd (5) (2.25/1 +25%) Enthused		2.25 2.25/1(+25%)																															(5) Enthused 2.25/1, Consistent performer who got back on scoreboard at Huntingdon (19.6f) in May and has come close twice since, latest when short-head second of 9 to Aliomaana in handicap hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good) 37 days ago, finishing well. Shortlist material. Narrow defeats by two of today's rivals the last twice; should be in the shake-up.
3	1 3rd (1) (4.5/1 -29%) Lady Adare		4.5 4.5/1(-29%)																															(1) Lady Adare 4.5/1, Won first 3 starts over hurdles and back on the up when second in Wincanton handicap (15.2f) in April. However, ran poorly at Cheltenham a fortnight later and had wind operation since. Others more appealing. Good second in April but last season's other two starts disappointing; wind surgery since.
4	3 4th (3) (7/1 -17%) Aliomaana		7 7/1(-17%)																															(3) Aliomaana 7/1, Below par latest but had got back to winning ways at Stratford (16.3f) previously and remains feasibly treated. Enters calculations. Excuses for latest heavy defeat and definitely considered on balance of form.
5th	6 5th (6) (8.5/1 +29%) Turpin Gold		8.5 8.5/1(+29%)																															(6) Turpin Gold 8.5/1, Off the mark in a Stratford novice (16.3f) last September but been rather a mixed bag since and arrives on back of poor showing at Worcester last month. Good second two starts ago but disappointed latest; up in class.
6th	2 6th (2) (8/1 -14%) Elham Valley		8 8/1(-14%)																															(2) Elham Valley 8/1, Won twice in 2022, including over this C&D, and ran right up to best when runner-up at Southwell (15.8f) in May. However, ran poorly (possibly amiss) at Cartmel subsequently and others look better treated. C&D winner a year ago; chances on that but absent since pulling up in May.

LTO Selection:

16:30 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Elham Valley won his only start here in August last year over course and distance, but he was pulled up at Cartmel when last seen in May and arrives here with something to prove. Clearance also likes it here, with three of his four wins coming at the track including last time out, and he looks a player, but a chance is taken on LADY ADARE. A winner on her first three starts over hurdles, she has had her issues since but further wind surgery recently will hopefully see her back to her best.

CLEARANCE added to his fine course record when scoring in cosy fashion last month and remains on a workable mark. He can go in again. Enthused is feared most.

Course specialist CLEARANCE can gain a fourth C&D win.

1	1 1st (1) (8/1 -33%) Lelantos		8 8/1(-33%)																															(1) Lelantos 8/1, Arrives in good nick, second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Can go well again. Below last winning mark and would have been closer at Uttoxeter but for a late mistake.
2	12 2nd (12) (7.5/1 -7%) Saxon Queen		7.5 7.5/1(-7%)																															(12) Saxon Queen 7.5/1, Unreliable individual but she scored over C&D in June and backed it up with a good second of 10 at Stratford (26.4f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Others are still preferred though. Didn't look straightforward when second at Stratford and she's 4lb higher for this.
3	11 3rd (11) (10/1 +17%) Danzini		10 10/1(+17%)																															(11) Danzini 10/1, Won at Southwell last summer and got back on track with tongue strap/cheekpieces added when close last of 3 to Saxon Queen over C&D 76 days ago. Visored now and ought to be in the shake-up. Wouldn't get too excited about his close third in a field of three over C&D in June.
4	4 4th (4) (22/1 -267%) Fortunate Fred		22 22/1(-267%)																															(4) Fortunate Fred 22/1, Is operating below his best at present, third of 11 in novice hurdle here (18.5f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Significantly up in trip for his handicap debut so can't be ruled out. Remains a maiden and has been no threat to the principals in his last three outings.
5th	6 5th (6) (7.5/1 -67%) Jack The Farmer		7.5 7.5/1(-67%)																															(6) Jack The Farmer 7.5/1, Finally got off the mark with a ready success at Worcester (23f) before posting a good second of 6 in handicap over C&D (good to soft) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and well in the mix. Second here after a troubled run and developing into a reliable stayer at this trip.
6th	7 6th (7) (6/1 +57%) Bensini		6 6/1(+57%)																															(7) Bensini 6/1, Opened his account at Worcester and not discredited when fifth of 11 at Southwell (2m4f) later in July. Considered off the same mark. Recent winner but below par latest and has stamina to prove over this far.
7th	10 7th (10) (4.5/1 +40%) Rubys Reward		4.5 4.5/1(+40%)																															(10) Rubys Reward 4.5/1, Resumed winning ways at Worcester in July and backed it up (in first-time hood) with excellent second of 12 in handicap there (23f, good) 21 days ago. Player nudged up 1 lb. Handicapped about right but running well and should be involved once more.
8th	13 8th (13) (5/1 +50%) Testflight		5 5/1(+50%)																															(13) Testflight 5/1, Took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (26.4f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Shortlisted in his bid for a maiden success. Didn't entirely convince with her stamina for this far when fourth at Stratford.
9th	15 9th (15) (50/1 +24%) Foillmore		50 50/1(+24%)																															(15) Foillmore 50/1, Poor maiden hurdler. Pulled up in handicap chase at Stratford (17f, good) on debut over fences 93 days ago. Needs to bounce back reverted to hurdling. Maiden over hurdles and his three thirds don't amount to much.
10th	5 10th (5) (28/1 -40%) Ernesto		28 28/1(-40%)																															(5) Ernesto 28/1, Scored at Hereford (25f) last autumn but has struggled since. Mark in freefall as a result but others still appeal more. On a good mark but struggles continued at Bangor last time with the cheekpieces back on.
11th	9 11th (9) (9/1 +0%) Wearapinkribbon		9 9/1(+0%)																															(9) Wearapinkribbon 9/1, It's now fifteen runs since last win in 2020 but he posted a good third of 6 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good to soft) 30 days ago. Possibilities. Just his second run in blinkers when close up over C&D last month.
12th	3 12th (3) (20/1 -67%) Seymour Promise		20 20/1(-67%)																															(3) Seymour Promise 20/1, Remains a maiden and pulled up in handicap chase here (21f, good to soft) 30 days ago, struggling from 5 out. Switches to hurdles with lots to prove. Chasing not gone to plan; has brighter prospects on his hurdling exploits.
8	8 |PU| (8) (18/1 +18%) Shortcross Storm		18 18/1(+18%)																															(8) Shortcross Storm 18/1, Scored over fences here in May but did too much too soon when fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, good) 23 days ago. Not ruled out back in this sphere. Won over 3m2f on the chase course here in May when only 2lb lower; not so good since.
2	2 |PU| (2) (40/1 -82%) Ratfacemcdougall		40 40/1(-82%)																															(2) Ratfacemcdougall 40/1, Racked up 5 wins over hurdles in 2020/21 season but has largely struggled to make an impact since. Mark continues to fall but others are preferred. Remote fourth returned to fences latest; hadn't been showing much over hurdles.
14	14 |PU| (14) (150/1 -733%) Etoile Brillante		150 150/1(-733%)																															(14) Etoile Brillante 150/1, No sign of ability in 3 bumpers and well held all 3 starts over hurdles too following a wind op . Has lots to find. Uncompetitive in three bumpers and as many hurdles; goes handicapping with much to prove.

17:00 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Nicky Henderson won this last year and will hope for a repeat with top-weight Lelantos, who he seems likely to mount a challenge despite having to carry 12 stone. However, JACK THE FARMER brings consistency to the table, with a top three finish on his last seven starts including a win at Worcester last month, and he could add another success to his CV today. The in-form Rubys Reward and the first-time visored Danzini are interesting alternatives in a highly-competitive renewal.

Little between the principals on form but RUBYS REWARD comes here at the top of her game so edges the vote off just a 1 lb higher mark than her excellent recent Worcester second. Bensini is also weighted to have a big say ahead, with in-form pair Jack The Farmer and Danzini also in the mix.

Nigel Hawke's JACK THE FARMER is developing into a reliable stayer at this level and he was a bit unlucky when second here last time.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
